Commands for IEEE-488 Only
The IEEE-488 checkbox shows commands that are used for the IEEE-488 interface. This
is all the commands but those used for RS-232 operations. (See “Commands for RS-232
Only.”) All commands are transferred over the IEEE-488 as data, except for the
commands LOCAL, REMOTE, and LOCKOUT, which are implemented per IEEE
Standards as messages (see Table 5-7).
